Sometimes, it's so easy to forget that before everything we all used to be people with (generally speaking) normal lives. We all had to learn how to feed ourselves, how to read, how to be who we are...

Now of course, as household names, it's hard to remember that people actually do just call me Pepper. Not Mrs. Potts-Stark, Pepper Potts-Stark, CEO, etc etc. Believe it or not, my parents still refer to me as Virginia.

I thought it might be fun to bring us all back to what makes us human: our flaws. But not, those hard ones that make us vulnerable. Something interesting, something that you wouldn't expect.

I'll go first, of course.

I absolutely, cannot, for the absolute life of me, bake bread. Doesn't matter how hard I try -- it either doesn't rise, or it's too chewy, or it's not bread, it's crackers (that was a sad day). Don't tell Tony, but that might be the reason behind no gluten in our house ;)

	If your name is Vir-gin-i-a, why do people call you 'Pep-per'? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's a nickname. I think you might have noticed that people of Earth tend to use other names to refer to each other. Quill is one of those people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He once referred to me as 'Smurfette'. I don't know what it means, but I refrained from stabbing him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have patience. I have also thought about harming him, but haven't. My husband seems to enjoy Peter's company. A smurfette is a small female, blue, cartoon character. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not known for my patience. I won't comment on the reason for a friendship between Stark and Quill other than to say they seem to share a similar humour which they use to distract from their insecurities. Or so I have observed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm pretty human but here goes. I can build anything but modern technology and their user interfaces? I can't change my wallpaper, my ringtone, or understand what Snapchat is. I like to listen to people play Dungeons and Dragons while I'm working. I'm not much of a cook but I'm trying to get better. My mom is sending me recipes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Snapchat is only second to Tiktok for me in the 'confusing social media apps'. I don't understand the point of either. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons. It seems like an interesting thing to listen to. Ah, cooking I can do -- not that I have much time for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what a Tiktok even IS. Your basic Dungeons and Dragons group is essentially the Avengers but make it medieval. Neither Thor or I are great about cooking g. He's at least better at remembering to eat than I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kids these days. That's...more Avengers than I need. I'm okay with the set I have. I would be surprised if that man ever forgot to eat. I'm glad you have someone reminding you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
